And now…. Kerrang Radio Changes

Well I have started the summer holidays and it has been a week and I am quite bored, there are a few reasons for this boredom.

1. I have nothing to do
2. I can’t find work
3. I have no money
4. Emma Scott has left Kerrang! Radio
5. Nick Margerison has left Kerrang! Radio
6. and The Night Before is no more

The Night Before

Well I have been a Kerrang listener for a few years now and I have been an avid listener to The Night Before with Nick Margerison for just over a year and this week saw the end of it, I am sad to see it go as this was the best show that Kerrang has done and it is the only show where I have felt that I can speak my mind and not look like a blathering idiot. I have made one of the biggest contributions to The Big Show as I was the one that started #HowAreWe on twitter, this is the only Hash Tag that i have started that has court on and it is becoming ever popular with the old Night Before cult. I have been a caller on the show covering many topics from the starting of the Hash Tag to attempting to have a moan at El Presidente, Matt only failed due to the Thought experiment in which One is not allowed to say the word the is a letter between H and J, yes I is the word and the experiment is long over ( I lasted 4 days due to the fact that I was close to a mental breakdown), but I have found the show to be the way that I have stayed 3 steps ahead of the world on the big storys.

MMMMMMMM How are We?

hello there,

it has been some time since i posted a blog entery so i may be a little rusty but i will give it a go none the less.

Twitter

i am a twitterer and i was before it became the next big thing by about a year, and i have started something on there with the help of “The Night Before”  on kerrang Radio, it is a # tag and it is, #howarewe, and the way that it works is, you add the tag to the tweet and give a score out of 10 and include a reason for the score.

e.g.

#howarewe 5/10, so bored i may have to kidnap a cat.

the team on “The Night Before” are hopeing to get this in to the top topics on twitter.

DVD Collection

over the last couple of mounths my colection of DVDs has increased quite a lot, i have moe got all of CSI and i have started on House. 

it should be noted that i have nearly runout of shelving space for the DVDs.

CeX

this is my new favorite shop and it has just opened up in chatham high street and the price of the stuff in there is exceptional.

“Who Are You?”

well it has been amout a month and you know “The best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry” as i had planned to blog about quite a lot of things over the last month and well i think i will do that now.

Red Nose Day 2009 – Update 2

We now have a route, yay, so now I know that the distance that I will be going is 26.9 Miles.

We will be going in a nice circle witch makes it easy and there will be stops for food and drink and this is when i will be updating the Twitter.

I will also be taking Photos and these will be posted on twitpic and on this blog the day after we complete the Cycle.

I will have a sign on my back whilst I am doing the event and it will say that I am doing this for Comic Reliefe but i still have to create this so that will be work for tomorrow.

One last thing I have created a Group on Facebook and I currently have 2 memberds and one is me.

Red Nose Day 2009 – Update 1

Well I have chosen where Ii am going to be going and it is Maidstone, Kent.

Me and my Dad will be cycling there and back to raise money for Comic Relief.

This will not be easy as it is the biggest distance I will have gone by Bike and I will be going Back as well.

Hopefully will have the route maped out soon so that will be another thing that I wont have to worry about.

Red Nose Day 2009

 

Red Nose Day '09

 

Comic Relief

I have decided i am going to “Do something funny for Money” this year for Comic Relief.

I have chosen to do a sponsored Bicycle ride for Red Nose Day.

I have not sorted it all out yet, so I still need to decide on how far I am going to go and the route I will go and where this will lead me but I know that it will be sorted in the next couple of days.

I will be Twittering and Blogging about everything I do (Decisions, choices, etc) leading up to the event on the Saturday (14/03/2009) after Comic Relief.

There was a small list of things that I could have done like:

1. Get a Hair Cut
2. Sponsored Silence
3. The bike ride
4. A complete week in college

So I chose the Bicycle ride as it will get me exercises and it will be good for me.

I have setup a RND (Red Nose Day) sponsor page on there site so that people can donate and sponsor me online and I will also have a sponsor form as well.

All of the money I raise will go to a good cause and will save lives and improve them as well.

RND Fact:

£5 could buy a malaria bed net

 

The BT Red Nose Climb

I have donated money to the Red Nose Climb, I did a text donation of £1 wich will help and as TESCO says “Every Little Helps” so as Moyles is going up Mt Kilimanjaro the ride will help raise more money.

I hope that you do something for RND.

Long Time No Bloging

well it has been a while since i last bloged.

the only reason it has been this long is due to the fact i am using twitter and i think i am adicted(again), is there a twitter Anonamus? 

stupid question.

 

The Techguys

well i have been having a bit of trouble with the computers DVD Drive and it was making a noise as though it was about to fail for the last week or so so i called up the tech guys and they just replaced the Drive Like-for-Like and it was really easy and efective as the new drive is so much quieter than the other drive.

 

CSI:NY

i have been watching a lot of CSI:NY over the last week and i have started watching the 1st season and realising that i have not seen most of these witch is like me.

i cant really thing of anything else that is new other than i got my new glasses and the ring  and that it is the last day of the half term.

(i am a Twitter Adict)

Twitter

“@stephenfry Awwwwwwww”

OK so i like many others have become hooked with Twitter (unlike the others this is the 2nd time i have become hooked). amongst these are Stephen Fry, Chris Moyles, Johnathan Ross, Philip Schofield, Greg James, Scott Mills, Rob Brydon, me and my dad.

with Twitter and the application TweetDeck i have been kept up to date with the updates and Stephen Fry was stuck in a lift and Phillip Schofield has been wageing an un-win-able war against the Snow.

if you want to follow me or any of the people i have listed then you can.

you are also able to contact them with the @reply and if you are lucky they may reply back.

also there is David Hewlett and Kate Hewlett, and Dom from the Chris Moyles show, and i am listening to Chris this Morning and Twittering and blogging at the same time so it is ok if you end up with an @reply or a #tag in this blog that is not ment to be there.

i am going to go now as i have to get ready for college.

Last week: Windows 7 and My 18th Birthday

Preview Pain

WMP - Library

WMP - Now Playing

“Hello There from Windows 7 Beta 1″

Well i am in the beta test for Windows 7 and i am realy liking it. It is a lot faster the Windows Vista and there are some minor changes that make a very big differance to the feel of this Operating System. there is a new version of Windows Media Player and the Tackbar has been merged with the Quick launch toolbart so that you can pin applications to the Taskbar and there is the addition of the improved visual previews of the open windows. there is also the option to see the desctop so that it makes the windows compleatly transparent. where Windows Vista Ultimate had DreamScene Windows 7 dose not but you do have the option to have lots of backgrounds and have them change in intervals from 30 seconds up to once a day.

Doctor Who - Season 2 Volume 2

Wi-Fi Router for the DS

On Friday (16th January) it was my 18th birthday and had a relitivly good day.

i started by leaving my keys at home so i had to go back home to get them so i could lock my bike up so i was late for college as well. 

After college i had dinner with some family and got some presents and cards then i went home and five mins after i arrived Fish turned up for the “Party”, and then Tom arrived and Jordan was the last to arrive and we had a couple of drinks and played some Guitar Hero III. Towards the end we were on the Interweb (Internet to those not in the know) and watched some music videos and then this:

oh and this:

The last couple of days i have been watching Bill Bailey and Doctor Who as well as playing Halo at Tom’s and playing games online on my DS .

Quoat:

“Yes” Carl, Yes Man

Based on the book by Danny Walliace

Before i forget i have seen Yes Man and it is a brilliant film.

Programing, Animation and Spredsheets

Ok so i have been back at college for almost a week and so far i have started three new Units, UNIT 6 – Advanced Spreadsheet Skills, UNIT 18 – Principles of Software Design and Development and UNIT 26 – Computer Animation.

Unit 6

Started on Tuesday and it is fun at the moment as the work is not that hard but it is taxing .

Unit 18

this is fun ath the moment but it is difficult for me as  have dyslexia so i make mistakes  but i have created 5 programs in C already today

Unit 26

i am very good at this as it started off today using Macromedia Flash 8 witch i have used lots of times and i am one of the best in the group but that has its down sides as it means that i am constantly being asked for help but i don’t mind as it is similar as to when i was doing DiDA(Diploma in Digital Applications) back at RNS and i was the only person at the hole school that knew how to use it (not even Mr Brown knew how to use it) but like now i did help and i tough Tom how to use it and he then helped a couple of others but there were still only a handful of people that did know how to use it.

well tomorrow i am back doing units 6 and 26 so fun all day.

oh and it is not that long till my birthday (16/01/1991) and i will be 18!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
